This album makes me miss VH1. I like the record just fine, but I would watch the shit out of a behind the music style making-of about this one. Show me some crusty old producer/mixer behind a giant console playing the stems for various instruments and I would eat it up with a spoon. Some of the mixes on this thing are wild. I'd love to hear about how they made these decisions. Anyway, it's a bit too long for my liking but I pretty much liked all the slow songs. It's like a deconstructed late-era Beatles record or something. I don't know how else to describe it. "Big Black Car" is great. "Holocaust." "Nightime." The cover of "Nature Boy." All pretty darn great. But dang there's 18 songs here and I wish that number was smaller. Maybe some of the others would grow on me with repeated listens; they definitely would grow on me if they could be heard in my hypothetical dream VH1 doc.
